Lot 16
A Continental patinated bronze model of a horse, late 19th century, portrayed looking back to dexter, on a naturalistically cast base with foliage and rockwork, 21.5cm high, 22.5cm long; on an associated Louis Philippe bronze mounted marmo Siena base, circa 1830, with foliate cast band to front and sides, on four bracket feet, 8.5cm high, 28cm wide, 12.5cm deep
Lot 18
A French patinated bronze and Boullework mounted equestrian group, late 19th century, probably portraying King Henri IV, bearded and with laurel wreath to his hair, wearing ceremonial armour, the horse with head slightly to dexter, his left foreleg and right hind leg raised, the ebonised wood rectangular plinth with incised and cut brass foliate inlay on a faux tortoiseshell ground, 43.5cm high, 28cm long, (lacking elements). This model is very similar to the equestrian monument to Henri IV erected on the Pont Neuf in Paris in 1618. The original was commissioned from Giambologna by Marie de Medici but was destroyed in 1792 during the Revolution. A new one was cast in 1818 from a mould made using a surviving cast of the original. The example in this lot differs from that on the Pont Neuf in various ways, but mainly in the arrangement of the king`s arms and the detailing in his armour. The pose of the horse is almost identical
Lot 22

Lot 31
A rare Dutch East India Company bronze howitzer, circa 1725, the cylindrical two stage barrel with flat cascabel and broad first reinforce cast with lifting loop and large diameter trunnions, the astragal moulded muzzle with 10 inch bore, 90cm long, maximum diameter 48cm. Provenance: The property of a private collector. Recovered from the wreck of an early 19th century Dutch East Indiaman off the west coast of Africa which was lost on a return trip from Batavia with a cargo including redundant cannon for smelting. Purchased directly from the salvers in 1980. The current lot is a rare model which can be described as being halfway between a mortar and a standard cannon. The short barrel allows relatively large projectiles to be fired (at the expense of accuracy and range) whilst retaining a degree of portability and maneuverability in the field. Projectiles could either be solid, hollow (explosive) or grapeshot making this a useful weapon perhaps well suited to amphibious campaigns.
Lot 32
A Dutch East India Company bronze mortar cannon, 18th century, the domed cascabel cast with trunnions, the breech with scallop shell vent guard and struck JANVER.. at the first reinforce, the large-bore bell-shaped barrel with lifting loop at the second reinforce and astragal moulded muzzle revealing 15 inch bore, 90cm long, maximum diameter 53cm. Provenance: The property of a private collector. Recovered from the wreck of an early 19th century Dutch East Indiaman off the west coast of Africa which was lost on a return trip from Batavia with a cargo including redundant cannon for smelting. Purchased directly from the salvers circa 1980. Mortar cannon were designed to lob hollow explosive-filled projectiles over obstacles such as the wall of a fortress. The maritime application mortar cannon was first capitalised by the French in the late 17th century who developed `bomb vessels` so that mortars can be fired from an offshore location. The earliest bomb vessels were usually adapted from other small craft suitably strengthened and often with the foremast removed to make room for the mortar to be placed amidships. During the 18th century the British developed a specific vessel for this role the `bomb ketch`. Such vessels were almost exclusively used to attack land based targets often deployed to disable enemy coastal forts or to assist in amphibious operations. Offshore mortars were employed to bomb the city during the battle of Copenhagen in 1801, with the bomb vessels placed the seaward side of the attacking British fleet. Maritime mortars tended to be designed with slightly longer barrels than their land-base counterparts mainly in an attempt to improve accuracy but also to reduce the chance of setting fire to the bomb vessel by containing the spread of the blast from the muzzle. The current lot is similar to the French 1732 pattern mortar and was probably primarily designed to be used on land.
